Chapter 28: Chapter 28

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen! I got the news, I got the news!"

As soon as he met Chen Muwu at the gate of Ma's house, Xiangzi informed him excitedly that the matter had taken shape.

Chen Muwu thought that someone would come looking for him. He glanced at the old ladies in the neighborhood basking in the sun in the corner, and dragged Xiangzi to an empty corner outside the alley.

"What did you hear?"

"After I went back, I asked a few brothers in the car factory, hey, guess what?"

Chen Muwu knew that the reason he showed his merits was to get some rewards, so he took out a handful of coins from his pocket and put them in Xiangzi's hand: "Go on."

Xiangzi was not polite either, he took Chen Muwu's money, put his hand into the lapel of his chest, and put the money in his inner pocket: "Everyone said that in the recent period, they have been dragged by either Westerners, or They are from the East, and occasionally Chinese, and they have been to the Heiyao Changtan area, and they all went there in the dark before dawn.

"Later we were chatting, and suddenly another guy came over and said that he once dragged a father-in-law who came out of the palace at the same time and the same place. The key is that this father-in-law also carried a large suitcase with him. .

"Then we all got together again and counted the time. It seems that every Sunday, there is a ghost market like this on the Heiyaochangtan side.

"As soon as I heard the news, didn't I rush over to find you!
"Mr. Chen, how about it? Tomorrow is Sunday. Are you interested in going to Heiyao Changtan? Or I will come to pick you up at Yinshi tomorrow?"

"Ah, this..." Chen Muwu was speechless, pretending to be very sorry, "Xiangzi, that's really unfortunate. I'm going to give a lecture in the university hall tomorrow, and I'm afraid it won't be possible."

He took out a few more coins, and continued to put them in Xiangzi's hand: "But thank you for telling me such a useful piece of news. If you accept these few cents, Xiaoyang, you should treat it as a trip to my place." Remuneration, if there is any news in the future, pay more attention and help me find out."

He, Chen Muwu, was not a fool either, he would not obediently jump into circles specially designed for him by others.

On the second day after arriving in Beijing, Chen Muwu, who was sitting in the rickshaw, vaguely revealed too much personal information during the conversation with Xiangzi.

Not to mention anything else, but the fact that he showed interest in buying the treasures from the palace can let interested people know that he has a rich master.

After all, the rare treasures in the palace were collected from all over the country and even overseas during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and any one you pick is worth a lot.

If he can have an idea about this kind of thing, is this person short of money?

Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, the Xiangzi in front of him seems to be honest, who knows what is thinking in his heart?
Yin time is three o'clock in the night, which is the darkest time of the day.

As the saying goes, "When the moon is dark and murders people, when the wind is high and fire is set", who would run to the black kiln factory pool in the wilderness in the middle of the night with a foreign driver who has only seen two sides?

After all, Xiangzi set up a scheme with others to make some Xibei goods to pretend to be the treasures of the palace, and defrauded himself of a fortune?
Or just don't even bother to make a fake, just treat yourself as a meat ticket, and ask for a ransom from his house after being tied up?

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Chen Muwu thought that it is not impossible to go to Heiyaochangtan, but he must not go with the honest and honest coachman Xiangzi in front of him.

"This... okay, Mr. Chen, then I'll go back first, and I'll come here to find you when I get some other information."

"Waiting for the good news. By the way, Xiangzi..."

"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Muwu asked the question that he had been hiding in his heart all along: "I'm going to ask, can you raise camels?"

"Camels... I've only seen that thing a few times in the camel team from Fuchengmen, let alone raising it, I've never even touched it!"

Well, it seems that this Xiangzi is not that Xiangzi, or this Xiangzi has not been captured by the warlords, and he has not "exchanged" a few camels with his newly bought car.

Chen Muwu sent Xiangzi away who sent the information with a few cents.

Not going to Heiyaochangtan with Xiangzi does not mean that he will not go to Heiyaochangtan himself.

Chen Muwu kept an eye out again: What if he was overthinking and Xiangzi didn't lie to him, is it true that Heiyaochangtan is a place where the palace guards steal and trade stolen goods?

It's better to go there and have a look in person, seeing is believing.

Chen Muwu, who returned to Ma's house, immediately borrowed the phone, called Fushun Taxi Company to order a taxi, and agreed to pick him up at Dongbanqiao at four o'clock the next morning.

This is the result of his deliberation. These years, a taxi costing three yuan an hour is a bit more expensive, but it is better than safety.

After arriving at Heiyaochangtan, he can hide in the car, and if he encounters danger, let the driver speed up and leave, and no one can do anything to him.

Chen Muwu, who was crackling with wishful thinking in his heart, returned to his room and counted his belongings.

Xian Dayang still has about [-] or [-] pieces, and there are five small yellow croakers in the close-fitting clothes. In addition, there is the second brother Chen Muping who had a cold face before leaving home. Ten Yuan National Currency Exchange Note issued by Zhangjiang Industrial Bank.

Because years of wars led to the credit bankruptcy of the national government, the banknotes issued by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications headquartered in Beijing were not as strong as those issued by banks in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

Although the "middle note" and "delivery note" issued by these two banks are printed on the face of the note as one-to-one exchange with silver dollars, it is not easy to exchange them at a price of [-]:[-] in the market.

As for Jiang Xingye Bank, because there is a building in the Tianjiao Concession as the northern headquarters, the banknotes issued are exquisite and difficult to imitate, so the currency value is still strong in the north. Even if it cannot be exchanged in full, it can at least be exchanged for nine. into more than.

These properties of Chen Muwu add up to a total of less than 500 yuan in silver dollars. I don't know if the money can be used to explore Li Dezhu in the Heiyaochang Lake tonight and find good things.

He only left a dozen or so oceans outside to pay for tonight's fare, and as a cheap way to prepare for emergencies, and then rolled up all the rest of his belongings and placed them close to his body.

Chen Muwu picked up his pen again and left a note for Ma's family, which stated that he would take the No. E car of Fushun Company to Heiyaochangtan tonight.

The reason he did this was that if he didn't come back tomorrow morning, after someone entered the house and found this note, they would naturally call the police to find him.

Although in this era only extortion is the only thing, it is still unknown whether the police who harmed the party will bring justice for him.

After finishing all this work, Chen Muwu took the time to lie down on the bed, wound up the horseshoe watch beside the bed, and set the alarm clock for 03:30.

He has to race against time to recharge his batteries, and there is still a big job waiting for him in the second half of the night.
